What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Being in the water. Seeing their time improving each race.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My parents and Brother. They support me at every swim meet. We have pep talks before each meet to help me build my confidence. They push me to do my best and keep practicing.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

When I went to my first away meet in Upstate New York. I was only in the developmental team for 6 weeks, I did a total of 6 races, and winning 2 gold medals and places with 2 Ribbons. I was so excited to see my accomplishment.
